Biography:
The Replacements are an alternative rock group that formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1979. The band originally started off as a hardcore punk outfit but began to incorporate folk and power pop influences in their sound. They become one of the leaders of the early alt-folk set and one of the flagship bands of the American 80s post-punk scene, being as well a major influence on 90s indie rock.
The band's best known lineup consisted of Paul Westerberg (vocals, guitar), Bob Stinson (guitar), Tommy Stinson (bass) and Chris Mars (drums).

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Notes: I play this tune with a capo on the second fret. Maybe it's
cheating; I dunno if Paul uses one or not, having never seen the song
performed live. But it makes the chords easier, and if you wanna sing it
a little easier on your voice, you can just loose the capo. Calling any
attempt to tab the intro pure speculation would be a compliment, so it's
just chords here.
For the chorus, take a regular Am and drop your pinky finger up and down
on the third fret of the high-e string where it's marked Am*.
All chord names refer to the shape - obviously with the capo, they're all
actually a full-step higher.

Heart aches, On your wedding day
Double takes when they look my way
Knees quake, There aint a shotgun in the place
G C D G
You're like the frosting, you just bought the cake
G/F# Em
You eyes can't fake
Am*
Still in love with nobody
C G (D C)
And I won't tell nobody
{And so on, until:}
